Love that Stands the Test of Time!

A Story of Love by Amber Root: I am Listening

 

 

"My husband and I met when I was in high school.

 

We were friends for a year and a half before we even started dating.

 

We dated the whole time I was at University.

 

 It was hard to be in a long distance relationship.

 

But we made it work.

 

He proposed to me a month before i went back for my senior year at UC Berkeley.

 

 This is how you know a man is capable of listening.

 

When he proposed it was by giving me a hard cover of the first book we ever talked about on the first day we ever met.

 

 The proposal was on the back page.

 

I tell you this: I couldnt even see the ring my eyes were so misty.

 

The next year, as we planned the wedding, we were tested more times than I can count.

 

But on a sunny day in May, I walked down the isle.

 

 It"s funny but the only thing I remember with perfect clarity was my husband's smile as we met at the end of the isle.

 

It was a smile you could live a lifetime in.

 

Two kids and ten years later I am still living in that smile."
